Question

An object of mass $ 0.5 \, \text{kg} $ is moving with a velocity of $ 10 \, \text{m/s} $. What is the momentum of the object?

• A. \( 5 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
• B. \( 10 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
• C. \( 50 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)
• D. \( 0.5 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \)

Hint:

Momentum is a vector quantity, but in this case, we're only concerned with its magnitude.
